nobody really knows if obama or romney will win in wisconsin. that is why the toughest race is to call. in montana, senator john tester, the democrat is running against the republican congressman for the state. that is a state mitt romney is expected to win easily, but the senate race has been extremely tight for over a year. it's another one that could go very late on election night. a third race that is looking very difficult to call at this point and should be a good one to watch is nevada. another presidential battleground state. i think at this point, most people think obama has a little bit of an edge there, but the republican has shown some ability to get democratic votes and people think he will run ahead of mitt romney in the state. that is a state where ticket splitters could make a difference in the senate race and that has been an incredibly close senate race as well. >> is there anything that would surprise you coming out of election night? >> although people thought republicans would gain control of the senate for a very long time
